Background

BACKGROUND:

JAKMIP1 Antibody: JAKMIP1, also known as Marlin-1, is a highly-conserved vertebrate-specific microtubule-associated protein that plays a role in JAK1 signaling and regulate microtubule cytoskeleton rearrangements. JAKMIP1 is expressed predominantly in neuronal and lymphoid cells and colocalizes with microtubules. Multiple isoforms of JAKMIP1 are known to exist: isoforms 1 and 5 are also expressed in liver, lung and skeletal muscle, while isoforms 2-4 are specifically expressed in brain and retina. JAKMIP1 participates in polarized secretion in lymphocytes and it has been suggested to be a novel effector memory gene restraining T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Dysregulation of JAKMIP1 gene expression is associated with genetic conditions linked to autism in humans.
